I am about to go crazy. I have never in my life felt so helpless. My brother has OCD. He's smart, very smart, but he got kicked out of college because he simply could not do the work. He didn't go to class, he never studied because he couldn't because of OCD, he never did his homework. He was there on a full scholarship. Now he's here with my mom and I. My dad works abroad.
We don't know what to do. My mom started crying today because she simply does not know what to do. He stays up all night and sleeps all day. He sits in the bathroom for hours at a time. literally hours, he was in there for four or five hours once. How long are you gonna bang on the door for? I want to help him, my mom wants to help him, my dad wants to help, everyone wants to help him obviously, we can't stand seeing him like this but what do we do? There're limits to compulsion. He sits down in one place and you can't get him to get up. I've never tried it before but I tried force today, it doesn't work.
